Quarktet
was created to promote innovative and patented technologies that have
been
developed by Dr James Caron (Ph. D. Physics). GCLAD
was developed initially at the University of Delaware Center for
Composite
Materials to inspect composite materials during production. SeDDaRA was partially developed at Research Support Instruments, where
Dr. Caron remains as a full-time scientist. RSI has
granted Quarktet the right to patent and license this technology.
Additional supporters are listed on Links.
Quarktet
is
currently
operated
during non-standard working hours. However,
with some after-hours effort and making use of modern technologies, we
hope our partners and customers will find Quarktet as responsive
and professional as a full-time company.
The management team currently
consists of Dr. Caron and Liz Dart Caron, who helped
develop this website, and assists in design, management and financial
operations.
Tria Image Processing program was
written by Dr. Caron. Additional
personnel to assist in accounting, marketing, and legal operations will
be
added as needed.
Dr. Caron received his M.S. (1995)
and Ph.D. (1997) in Physics from the University of Delaware, Newark,
DE. During graduate study and post-doctorate work, Dr. Caron was the
main researcher in the UD Laser Acoustics Lab giving him seven years
experience in acoustics, optics, and electronics. He researched,
designed, constructed, and operated the laser-based ultrasonic systems
at UD. This includes designing and building photodetectors, servo
circuits, filters, and amplifiers suitable for laser ultrasonics,
operating and maintaining the Nd:YAG lasers, maintaining the laser
ultrasonic system, and determining the course of the research. In this
time, he invented Gas-coupled Laser Acoustic Detection. Through his
work with Research Support Instruments,
he
developed unique image processing techniques, including SeDDaRA, and
honed his programming skills.
Both GCLAD and SeDDaRA are
available for licensing. If you have an interest in these
technologies, please contact us. We have some ideas on our Opportunities page. For information,
